Bob Dylan’s teenage grandson is following the folk rock icon into music – he’s launching himself as a rapper.

Pablo Dylan, the 15-year-old son of director Jesse, recently released his first mixtape, titled 10 Minutes, and he reveals he already has a fan in his legendary granddad.

He tells AllHipHop.com, “I consider him (Dylan) the Jay-Z of his time, and he definitely has a legacy that a lot of people look up to. He feels strongly about my music and I love him to death.”

Pablo’s music has also caught the ear of rising rapper Lil’ Chuckee – a member of Lil Wayne’s Young Money crew – and the pair has already recorded a duet, which will be released as his forthcoming single.

But the youngster hopes to draw attention for his music alone – and not because he’s a Dylan descendant.

He says, “Of course we do two different things, and I don’t want people to see me for what he has done. But, what I have done… from a musical and personal standpoint is definitely influenced by him.

“Everyone around me influences me, and I have learned so much from him, just listening to his records.”

Country icon Dolly Parton stunned fans at her Los Angeles concert over the weekend by performing a short rap tribute to her unlikely new pal, Queen Latifah.

Parton took to the stage at the Hollywood Bowl in California and performed a number of her greatest hits, before breaking out into an impromptu freestyle about rapper-turned-actress Latifah and their big bosoms.

In video footage of the show, posted on TMZ.com, she raps, “She’s the queen of her own hood… but I’m the queen of Dollywood!… I don’t hip and I don’t hop… I’d black both eyes with this big top… I know the Queen has got ’em too… but she don’t work ’em like I do!”

Parton’s concert was attended by a slew of celebrities, including pop star Miley Cyrus and actor Vince Vaughn.

The busty blonde struck up a close friendship with Latifah after working on their upcoming film, “Joyful Noise.”

Kim Kardashian’s sisters are planning to do whatever they can to embarrass the socialite at her bachelorette party in Las Vegas this weekend.

The socialite is engaged to marry her basketball player boyfriend Kris Humphries later this summer and her sisters and close friends are planning to celebrate the impending nuptials with a bridal shower in Los Angeles on Friday.

They will then fly to Las Vegas for a wild night out on Saturday.

Kim’s sister Kourtney opened up about their plans during an appearance on “Lopez Tonight,” telling the host, ‘We are going to do whatever we can to embarrass Kim, just to bring her such embarrassment. That’s our job… We’re going to do it all. We have so many tricks up our sleeves that she won’t even know what is happening.”

Family friend, socialite Brittny Gastineau, even compares the upcoming party to Vegas-based movie “The Hangover.” She says, “Like ‘The Hangover.’ All you need is that one night. Can you imagine if it were like ‘The Hangover’? If we all woke up and we were like, ‘Where are we?'”

Chris Brown has hit out at allegations he is a bad neighbor, insisting he has become a target for “childish” residents at his West Hollywood apartment block.

The “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker is caught up in a dispute with his neighbors for reportedly making too much noise, partying and using disabled parking spaces.

And on Thursday the star took to Twitter to set the record straight, insisting he is being victimized by fellow residents.

He writes, “My neighbor has a problem with me (as do some people) so this whole (website) tmz story is a way to continue…the bs. My neighbor carves my name in our elevator to incriminate me so it looks like I’m a reckless 22 year old.

“My parking spaces in my building that were assigned to me when I bout (bought) this crib are painted over with handicap and no parking signs… I’m barely home so these stories and accusations are so childish!

“My neighbor also calls the parking enforcement everyday so I get a 360 dollar ticket for each of my cars. (everyday) But no worries, I’ll be a good little boy! There is always 3 sides to a story, my side, your side, and the truth!

“I feel I have to explain myself because my brand/life is always being slandered and tampered with! ITS GOTTA STOP! No need for me to play the victim. Just wanna live my life and just make music!”

Rapper Vanilla Ice has warned teen sensation Justin Bieber to enjoy his success while he can – because his fame won’t last.

The one-time hitmaker, real name Rob Van Winkle, was catapulted to fame thanks to his hit 1990 track “Ice Ice Baby” – the first hip-hop single to top the Billboard charts.

But the star’s fame was fleeting and he struggled to maintain his success – and Ice thinks the “Baby” hitmaker could suffer the same fate.

He tells the Huffington Post, “I mean, I did ‘Ice Ice Baby’ when I was 16. So I can kind of relate a bit. Sold over a hundred million records. And I had a weekend that lasted about three years, and I didn’t know who I was, what’s my purpose in life.

“So my prediction about Bieber is that he’s going to go through one of those weekends that lasts a few years because he’s had such success as a child act.

“Then something else new will come along and he’ll be forgotten and he can try to put all the pieces back together, so it’s going to be entertaining to watch.”

Later, the rapper backtracked on his words, before clarifying, “I don’t think he’s going to be forgotten… I wish him all the best… I was giving him advice — when you’re a child star, it’s hard to figure out your purpose in life.”

Robert Pattinson was plagued by insecurities during the filming of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” because he had to take his top off.

The British hunk was promoting the upcoming vampire movie at the Comic-Con event in California on Thursday, and when a fan asked him about his most anxious moment on-set, the star admitted it was baring his torso.

He says, “The thing I was most nervous about was taking my shirt off. I’ve managed to have my shirt on the whole series. In the book, (my character Edward is shirtless) almost every three pages. (I thought) ‘How can I wear a T-shirt in the sea? Or a onesie?'”

He also warned fans not to expect too much from the shirtless scenes, adding, “I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up. I look like an inflatable frankfurter in some of those (scenes).”
